FFXIV How to Limit break and when to use it.

Ойындар

Have you ever wonder when to limit break? People often call for a LB but so many times no one steps up to use it because they aren't sure if its them that should. Lets talk about how to equip it to your bar and what your role gets to do for it so you can better understand when your limit break should be used.
If you want to see them bigger screen go toss this guys some love for having a video with sound that really shows them off:

    I see people giving flack to DPS for delaying limit breaks. I addressed this on the video's first upload - there's a reason for it. A good DPS will do two things before they limit break: 1) make sure they're in a safe position to limit break because the long animation lock can kill you if you're entering an AOE phase. 2) they will wait until a point in their rotation where DPS loss is minimized. For all DPSs this will be when buffs have dropped off and they've reached the end of their combo. MNKs this will be when stacks are used and can be regained easier. DRG when Nastrond is done and jumps are on CD. SAM when they've used their gauge. NIN when everything is on CD. This is being optimal at DPS. If a good DPS isn't using it at 20% it's for a reason. This isn't an invitation for trigger happy ranged or casters to LB because they are impatient.

    Thanks for commenting again. Yes these are solid tips. I would also mention finishing a dungeon with the lb unused does not grant bonus loot for doing it the hard way. Just like a dps has to learn when to move for mechanics and when to stick to their rotatation that one extra move this is something they get better at with practice. Step one imo is start using your lb. get use to the timing and the placement. Then make sure you get better at integrating it and using it. These mistakes you describe are not easy to avoid if you literally don’t know what your lb looks like or have the button on your bar. Thanks again.

    I would also add that you might delay it if the boss is about to move. as LB has both a cast time and rather long animation, if you spen that animation attacking nothing but air your LB will be wasted and if would better to wait until the boss stood still long enough for the LB to hit.

    I often see melee waiting till 1% left to start the LB when I don't play as a dps. If I dps as ranged about 70% of the time I use it as a finishing blow because the melee didn't use it. Sad fact is there is a ton of dps who don't pay attention.

We waited so long for the LB3 only for the SAM to use it within milliseconds of the bar being full. At 39%. The entire alliance just sat there in disbelief as the SCH yelled at him.

    The important thing to note is that the Physical Ranged LB will always hit its intended target whereas the Caster DPS can potentially miss any or all it's intended targets as it's a placed AoE.

    Work To Game the best example of this is during PvP. If you go into frontlines as BRD or MCH and limitbreak/adrenalin rush an enemy you'll always turn to face your victim unless they LoS or stun you. Give it a try, you only have to be Level 30 on a job to try PvP and you'll always have a chance to LB unless your going out of your way to avoid fighting.

    When I was on my first week of the game someone told me "don't use lb like that when there's a lot of monsters with the boss" but it was pretty clear that they were trash mobs (haukke manor normal adds), the boss lost 12% of its health and got to 8%. I knew that casters have AoE lb, but they weren't using it, but I'm STILL not sure I was right to use it! (and it's been almost 2 months now) I mean I think I was because the other person didn't use it. Because of this interaction I now wait until someone calls for lb but generally it's too late too :(.

    I feel like they should change the system, make it something more teamwork-focused. Either something the whole party has to channel together, or maybe make it weaker but once someone uses an LB you have 5 seconds to use your own before it expires, or something like that. That'd make it feel less like one person was hogging the whole bar!

    One more thing, the dmg is based on the avarage Item Level of your current light oder full Party. So if a Ninja with ILVL300 uses it, the dmg will be the same if a Dragoon with iLVL500 uses it, since they are both mellee dps and the avarage ILVL should be around 400. And sometimes you need it for a specific mechanic, like you said, Fire Nails that will wipeout the party if not killed asap or to be able to ignore a certain mechanic by simply using the Tank LB. Its best to get familiar with the fights and dungeons a little bit in advance and maybe just ask your group beforehand, if there is a certain point to use a LB

    But it's major dps possibly twice in one boss fight like an early lust starting a raid boss. Also the tank can protect everyone from a fail that could instantly kill everyone. Healers bring all back to life and healed. I'm not sure how this isn't the same as what your comparing it too. Besides there are roles in the game that help people in the party similar without using LBs.

    At what point (during a fight) do you think one should use LB in 4 mans (or light party) dungeons, personally I use at about 10% of the boss health unless I think the fight demands something else, for DPS and never while tanking or healing as a rule of thumb that is. That said I agree that full LB bar is a waste, if not used.

    Honestly as soon as it’s full you should ask when you can use it. If a major boss adds a bar and resets it you can even pull with a level 2 from a dps and have the tank taunt off them so t doesn’t get wasted because it resets when the encounter begins (the pull)

    As a caster, if I'm familiar with the dungeon, I'll use it on a big pull like the one in the middle of Hell's Lid, which you'll sometimes get a tank verbally requesting it if you're not using it. If I'm on summoner, I'll also try to time my rotation to sync with that so that I can Bahamut right after to finish everything off.

    One useful rule of thumb is that if you get a single LB bar before/during the first boss, it will usually fill again by the time you get to the third and you can fire away on that first one.

    As a new player this is by far the most mystifying aspect of the game, theirs no tutorial, quest, or dialogue for it you basically just have to notice the limit break gauge and ask yourself "huh wonder what that does" and I bet plenty of players stop right there and never figure it out.

  • @GalenAndrico

    Ran across this video. A couple things I'd like to point out. LB is best described proportionally. Melee lb does 100% damage to a single target, Caster does ~70% damage of the Melee LB to multiple targets in a place-able Circular AoE, Ranged does ~65% damage of the Melee LB to multiple targets in a 30y Linear AoE. Melee locks a player down for around 8 seconds, possibly a little more. Caster is locked down for an equitable time to melees, Ranged have a faster casting LB. Consider this when determining who should cast. Although the Ranged LB is proportionally less damage than the Casters LB, the extra skills you can cast because you're not animation locked for as long as the Caster come close to equalizing the damage. 8s is slightly more than 3 GCDs, not including possible double weaves means this is a large opportunity cost and frankly? Using Braver at the wrong time *is* a DPS loss. Rules of Thumb: 1). It is ALWAYS better for a Caster or Ranged to LB if the LB can hit more than 1 target which needs to die for the duty to progress. In ALL cases. 2). While running a Dungeon. Caster or Ranged LB as soon as its up and you have a trash pack. If done in this fashion you can usually get between 2 and 3 Skyshards/Big Shots per duty. And yes, 2 Skyshards or Big Shots hitting at least 2 targets per cast is greater potency than 1 Bladedance. 3). LB damage is calculated by average party weapon ilvl. LB damage is not effected by any cooldowns currently running on players. LBing while a buff is running is a frequently an opportunity cost and should be avoided unless fight mechanics otherwise demand the LB. 4). Shielding damage that would otherwise have killed a player is worth a significant amount of LB Gauge. Damage reductions do not build LB Gauge. For high-level play consider this when planning what mitigation to use for what damage.

    Oh, and additional note, though not verified through potency numbers. I believe that using Healer LB3 is a DPS increase whenever you're raising 2 or more DPS, if the DPS will then have 2 minutes of whaling-on-boss time. It might be 3 or more. Melee LB3 is 9k potency and most GCD-PPS values range around 150 to 200 PPS. This does not account for oGCDs and buff PPS inflation. Weakness is a 15% reduction in mainstat which is one of the primary components to converting PPS into Damage values. TL;DR don't be afraid to Healer LB3. Many Melee hate using Melee LB3 anyways as our rotations have become very time-dependent with SB.

    To use limit break you actually just use the limit break button. If you don’t have it on your bar, it’s in actions like you would look for adding sprint, a new skill etc. they have them sorted into groups so you can find thins a bit easier but that’s where you need to be. While you are there, check to see if you have been using your role abilities. Those are pretty good and I think some new players forget them.

    i thank you for this video, i've been trying to beat it into other dps mains' head that they should be using limit break at appropriate times lol most i've seen waste it at a mere 20% or 15% which is a real shame cause it drags out the fight much longer than it should be lol at 10% would be a great time for a melee to use upon a boss or single target as the sheer amount of damage it dishes out brings the fight close to a closing to where the group can burn the rest of the fight. and as for caster or ranged they should ideally conserve it for when the field has multiple enemies which need to go down simultaneously or the fight wipes. and as you mentioned healer's should only use a lb3 if the situation has gone beyond having 0 dps doing damage and the save is needed.

If you're in an extreme fight or raid and the whole party goes down except the tank(s) then ask them to use it so you can see it. The Paladin lb3 is pretty cool but the defense buff it gives last for like 7 to 10 seconds or something like that.

    How to limitbreak, here are the biggest mistakes you see. The limitbreak icon should always go on your hotbars once you get into dungeons. If you are a ranged dps and there is ONE boss, let the melee dps or caster do limitbreak they do more damage. If you are in a relatively new 24 man dungeon don't touch the limit break unless you are a healer and 50% or more of the party is dead. Make sure you are in healing range of everyone or they won't get the raise.
